Martha's Vineyard — No one would ever make the mistake of calling Martha’s Vineyard “undiscovered,” but in spite of its raging popularity – during the summer the population swells from around 15,000 to a whopping 120,000 – the island still feels like a quiet escape. Year after year, a faithful stable of East-coasters return to unwind on the island’s one hundred square miles of beaches, inlets, quaint towns and nature reserves.
